The rangers were on Earth battling one of Astronema's newest
monsters. A
cute looking teddy bear, with toxic fumes that slowly kills his enemies.
Because of this, the rangers were being especially careful. That proved
difficult, even though the monster looked clumsy, he was very fast on his
feet.

"Sirena, watch out!" Andros yelled just in time to save Si from the
toxic
fumes of the Teddy Bear monster.

"Carlos, try the quadra-blaster." Ashley suggested. So far, none
of their
weapons seem to be working on the monster.

The monster was also immune to the effects of the quadra-blaster.
The
rangers were getting desperate.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a gold ranger appeared. He seemed to
be on
the ranger's side. Within minutes, this new and mysterious ranger defeated
the Teddy Bear monster easily.

"Who are you?" TJ called out to the new ranger.

The gold ranger ignored TJ's question. Instead his gaze came to a
rest on
Si. He spoke, but not to TJ, instead to Sirena. "Are you all right?"

"Who is he?" Cassie whispered to Si. "Do you know him? He seems
to know
you."

"I don't know who he is. I've never even met him before in my life.
And I
don't know how he could know me." Sirena said back a little too loud.

The mysterious ranger must have heard, for he said. "Sirena, don't
you know
me?" Si frowned at him, trying to think. "It's me, Zephra."

Ashley gasped. "Uh oh." She thought to herself. "What's Si gonna
do know?
This is gonna be fun." Ashley sat herself down to watch the sparks.

"Zephra?" Si said a little uncertainly. "Is it really you?" By
now, the
male rangers had gotten curious and had walked over to watch. "My god, it's
really you!" Sirena ran over and gave him a hug.

"So far so good." Cassie muttered under her breath. "Ashley what
are you
doing?" Cassie noticed, for the first time, that Ashley was sitting and
watching like she was in a movie theater.

"I'm watching, what else." Ashley said. "Gotta make sure Si
doesn't do
anything wrong, like flirt." She said casually.

"What are you guys talking about?" Andros asked. He was confused
by
everything that was going on. It seemed Ashe and Cass were the only rangers
who did.

"Well," Cassie started. "Zephra used to be Si's crush. She made
the
mistake of telling him, she loved him. Of course, she thought he was killed
on Eltar, so she told us. And the rest you know."

They all turned back to watch the drama unfold. Zephra had removed
his
helmet when they were talking. He wrapped his arms around Si's waist, and
bent to kiss her. Ashley noticed Andros clench his fists.

"No Zephra, I can't." Si pushed away. "I don't love you anymore."
She
turned back to the other rangers. "I've found my place in the universe, and
my love." She said looking strait at Andros.

Andros relaxed. Si still loved him.

"But, your welcome to stay for a few days." Sirena looked
questionably at
the other rangers.

"Sure. Fine with us." The rangers all murmured their agreement.
"We've got
an extra room on the megaship."

"I guess I'll stay for a few days." Zephra agreed reluctantly. It
hurt him
to see Sirena with someone else. "Sirena, you must promise me you will
think
about leaving the team, and traveling with me."

"Okay, I guess so." Sirena answered. "ACTOM, DECA, seven coming
up."

In a shower of colored lights, the rangers were teleported onto the
combined
Galaxy and Astral megaship.

* * *

Sirena, Cassie, and Ashley took the day off and resumed their
shopping at the
Angel Grove Valley Mall.

"So what do you guys think I should do about Zephra? I mean, I need
to think
of a good, solid reason to tell him why I won't go with him." Si looked
over
at them.

"How about this, me and Cassie, can look through his records in the
Universal
Power Ranger's Records. And if we find anything dirty about him, we'll tell
you. Then you can use that as an excuse to stay with us." Ashley said.

"I don't think that's very nice." Cassie voiced her opinion. "You
should
tell him the truth. It's the only thing that really works. Or else, he'll
just keep bugging you and bugging you."

"I know, but I'm afraid of hurting his feelings." Sirena said
sympathetically. "Hey! Watch where your going." She yelled as someone
bumped into her.

"Sorry." A pretty petite girl wearing all pink and said. "It's
just been so
long since I've been home. Guess I'm pretty excited to get some shopping
done."

"That's okay. Do you wanna join us?" Sirena offered.

"Sure. My name is Kimberly." The girl said.

"I'm Sirena, and this is Cassie and Ashley." Si introduced.

The four girls were immediately acquainted. She and Cassie seemed
to get
along quite nicely. They continued on their shopping.

Several hours later, with their arms loaded with packages, the girls
walked
out of the mall. They dumped their stuff in Ashley's car and decided to go
to
the park.

"Man, it's been so long since I've been here." Kim said. "I wish I
never
left. How could I have been so stupid?"

Sirena smiled. The girl seemed to have a lot of energy.

Around them, a group of quantrons appeared. All the other civilians
scattered, leaving Ashley, Cassie, Sirena, and Kimmie alone.

"Uh oh." Ashley said. She delivered a kick at one to keep it away
from
Kimberly.

"I can take care of myself." Kimmie said as she sent a quantron
flying into
another.

Cassie and Sirena shrugged as they each took out several quantrons.
Within
minutes the quantrons left.

"Tell me something." Kimberly straitened up as she said. "Are you
guys
power rangers?"

Cassie, Si, and Ashley looked at each other surprised. What are
they gonna
say. They couldn't tell her the truth.

"Don't worry. I was once a power ranger under Zordon." Kimmie said
quietly.
"I can keep your secret."

"How did you know?" Cassie said surprised. They hadn't said
anything at all
to give their identities away.

"Because your each wearing a communicator." Kim pointed to their
wrists.
"Only power rangers wear one. And let me guess. Ashley is the yellow one.
Cassie is pink. And Sirena is purple."

"We all do Si." Ashley said. "I blamed myself when the power
chamber was
destroyed." She added sadly.

"We all did Ashe." Cassie said quietly. "We all thought, that if
we fought
harder, the power chamber would still be there."

"Zordon use to say to the old rangers, 'What has happened, should
not be
changed, because it is the way things should be." Kim said. "I mean, what
if
the power chamber was still there, you would never have met Andros and maybe
Sirena."

"I guess your right Kim." Sirena said smiling for the first time.
"We could
meet tomorrow and maybe go see a movie."

"Great! See you at the Surf Spot at let's say 3:30?" Kim looked at
them
closely. "Or should it be later?"

"3:30 is fine." Ashley said. "See you then I guess."

By now, they had reached Ashley's car. Kimberly took her bags and
left. The
three female rangers teleported on to the ship. Zephra was waiting for Si.

* * *

"Sirena, I can't stay forever. I'm giving you about a week to make
your
decision. Please come with me." Zephra begged.

"Zephra, I told you I can't go with you. My life is here with the
other
rangers, and Andros." Sirena turned and left for her room.

Zephra stared sadly after her. "If you only know what I did to be
here with
you." He thought depressed.

Zephra left the ship for a stroll on Earth. Without warning,
Eclipter and
several quantrons appeared.

"Hello Zephra," The menacing warrior sneered. "Astronema want's to
see
you." He advanced. Zephra raised his morpher. "I wouldn't do that if I
were
you. Not unless you want Sirena hurt."

"What does Astronema want, Eclipter?" Zephra asked warily.

"Oh, she wants you to do a little something concerning the rangers."
Eclipter laughed. "Just to deactivate their defense shield so we can get
on."

"No!" Zephra said. "I won't do that to my friends." He didn't
want to do
that to Sirena.

"Are they really your friends?" Eclipter asked. "Take the red
ranger for
example. He has taken Sirena from you. If not for him, Sirena would be
with
you. And the others all support their relationship."

"I won't do it Eclipter." Zephra said through clenched teeth.
"Sirena may
not love me anymore, but I still love her. I won't do it to her and her
friends."

"Well then, quantrons, destroy him!" Eclipter said as the quantrons
ran to
fight the unmorphed Zephra.

Zephra was in serious trouble. He couldn't fight unmorphed. He had
never
been taught to. Everything he did related to evil was morphed. A purple
streak landed in front of him. It was Sirena.

"All right Eclipter, this is my fight now." Si was anything but
happy.
"Meteorite Sword!" Sirena slashed her way through several quantrons. "I
would leave if I was you."

"Too bad you didn't say good bye to your friends. Your defeat will
make me
know to the universe." Eclipter wanted to win, badly.

The two clashed in an ugly battle. Both were worthy fighters and
unwilling
to retreat.

"We're coming Si!" Ashley yelled as she and the other rangers
leaped from
their galaxy glider.

While the rangers took care of the quantrons, Zephra took the
opportunity to
morph and give Sirena a hand. He had to keep Eclipter from giving Sirena or
any of the other rangers a hint or even a slight idea as to what he had done
on Eltar. He was too ashamed to let Sirena find out.

* * *

The next morning, Si came over from the Galaxy to hang out and talk.
Zephra
looked curiously as to what she was referring to. Sleepy TJ pulled himself
from bed for breakfast. He was getting breakfast when Ashley shrieked.

All the rangers looked at her in surprise. They waited patiently
for her to
explain.

"Well, do you remember how we promised Kim we would meet her to go
see the
movies?" A nod from Si and Cass was all she needed. "We'll I promised Tara
and the rest of the cheerleading squad that I would be at practice."

"Hold on a minute." Carlos said. "Who is Kim?"

"You don't know? Who am I kidding, of course you don't know. We
met Kim at
the mall the other day. She use to be a ranger for Zordon." Sirena
explained. "You should have seen the way she took some of those quantrons
down."

"And guess what color she was." Cassie said grinning from ear to
ear.
"Pink. Isn't that like, so cool? I knew there was something different
about
her the minute we met her."

"You did not. Besides, we wouldn't even know her if I hadn't
invited to her
go shopping with us." Sirena protested.

That started a fight between Cassie and Si.

"Hello! Does anyone still remember me?" Ashley called out. "I
still need
to find out what to do about cheerleading."

Sirena stood up and left. She wondered the hallways looking for the
gold
ranger. A noise from the bridge drew her attention. She peeked in to see
Zephra sitting in front of the communication systems. Curious by nature,
Sirena stayed there and listened in on Zephra as he contacted someone.

"Zephra to home, does anyone read me?"

"Selene here. Zephra is that you?" A young girl's voice came over
from
wherever Zephra was communicating.

"Yes. They're really mad. How could you do it? Zordon was the
essence of
good. And you left the fight so you could live! A thousand other warriors
would have rather died, then let Dark Specter get Zordon!" The girl, Selene
said.

"I did it for this girl I met, Selene. She was the best thing that
ever
happened to me. She told me she loved me. That's why I let Dark Specter
get
Zordon, I wanted to be with her." Zephra answered to the horror of Si.

"Who is she?" Selene answered. "Does she know what you did?"

"Her name is Sirena. She is from Inquiris. And no, she doesn't
know what I
did. If she did, she would never talk to me again. Sirena is Zordon's
faithful student. She is also the purple ranger. Sirena has dedicated her
life to finding and saving Zordon. Do you think I would tell her what I
did?"

"I guess not. Sirena of Inquiris. I've heard of her. Reeck came
back from
a mission and told me of a young warrior who saved his life, and he said her
name was Sirena. He also said she was a really strong and determined to rid
the galaxy of evil." Selene said. "She sounds very ambitious."

"She is, but she is also amazing. Now you see why I did what I
did?" Zephra
asked his younger sister Selene.

"Yes. Selene out."

Zephra turned to leave. Sirena scooted down the hallway at
lightning speed
back to her own ship. She was furious at Zephra for letting Zordon get into
Dark Specter's hands. Si headed for the teleportation room to teleport to
Earth.

* * *

Trini answered the door at her house. An unknown girl stood out
there.

"Hi. Is Kim here?" The girl asked awkwardly.

"Yeah. Hey Kim! There's someone at the door for you." The pretty
Asian
girl called out.

"Oh hey Sirena." Kim said when she recognized the purple ranger.
"Come on
in. This is Trini. She was the yellow power ranger during my time." Kim
added in a low voice. "Don't worry Trini. Sirena's a power ranger also.
One
of the present rangers."

"Cool!" Trini led them into the family room. "My parents are out
of town.
I got back two weeks ago from the peace meetings I was attending."

"Hey Si. You look bummed. What's the matter?" Kim asked
concerned. "Is
the pressures of being a ranger too much?"

"No. It's a boy problem." She answered. "Do you think we could
talk about
it?" Sirena asked Kimmie and Trini.

"Sure. No problem." Trini said. "Kim's great with matters of the
heart."

"So what's the problem?" Kim asked. "Is the boy you like not
responding to
your signals?"

"No. You see, I with Andros, our leader right now." Sirena paused
to let
Kim and Trini finish giggling. "But a month or so ago, I told this warrior
I
met that I loved him. I thought he was killed on Eltar defending Zordon.
Well, yesterday, he showed up and saved us (the rangers) from one of
Astronema's monsters. He asked me to leave with him, and travel in space.
This morning, I eavesdropped on one of his conversations with his family,
and
found out that he left Zordon to the mercy of Dark Specter. I want to
destroy
him for it, but I think I still have feelings for him. He wants me to leave
so badly with him, but I don't want to leave Andros."

"Well, in a situation like this, which one treats you better and is
cuter?"
Kim asked.

"Well they both are cute, and they both treat me great. I don't
know who I
like better." Sirena sighed.

"Then, I would beat the crap out of the traitor and stay with
Andros."
Kimmie said.

"Maybe you should meet them first before making a decision like that
Kim."
Trini suggested.

"Great idea! You guys can come on the ship and meet them. Come
on!" Sirena
grabbed their hands and pulled them up. "ACTOM, three coming up."

In three waterfalls of light, the three girls arrived on the Galaxy
Megaship.
Kim and Trini were stunned.

"ACTOM, where's everyone else?" Sirena called out to the computer.
"I'll
explain the ship to you later." She told Kim and Trini.

"The others are on my simu-deck working out. Let's see, they have
the mud
monster program running, and they're getting their butts kicked." The on-
board computer said.

Sirena led the way to the simu-deck. The door slid open with a hiss
reveling
a swamp. The morphed rangers and Zephra were battling some ugly looking mud
monsters. They were losing.

"Just a second." Sirena said to her two guests. "I need to help
them.
Seems they're giving a really bad example of how we fight. Let's Rocket!"

Sirena was in the fight instantly. She took care of two monsters
with one
blow, the rangers seemed to have new life breathed into them.

"Meteorite Sword! Activate Flame Tip now!" With several slashes,
all the
monsters crumbled into dust. "Now that is how we fight." She called to
Trini
and Kim, who were standing in the doorway.

"Come on. I wanna make introductions in a more formal place. Stop
simulation ACTOM." Sirena called out. "Power down!"

Introductions were made in the formal living room of the Galaxy
Megaship.
Cassie asked if they could spend the night on the ship. They occupied the
exact same rooms in which Cassie and Ashley spent the night.

Later that night when the other rangers and Zephra were on their own
ship.
Si, Kim, and Trini got together to discuss the love problem.

"I think Andros is a hunk." Kim said to Si. "Stay with him. He
is really
charming."

"Kim, you think all the boys you see are hunks." Trini teased her.
"And
aren't you with Tommy?"

"Astronema's attacking a dance club called the All Nighter." ACTOM
answered
referring to the image on the screen. "DECA doesn't know because she's
getting old, so the other rangers don't know yet."

"Well I don't want to wake them up. I'll take care of this. Kim,
Trini, if
I run into trouble have ACTOM contact the Astral Megaship." Sirena
instructed.

"Okay. Be careful." Trini said.

Sirena nodded and headed to the jump tube. She stuck her hand out,
turned
and grasped the bar above and slid into the tube.

* * *

She appeared inside the club amiss a group of quantrons. Sirena got
their
attention and steered them toward another part of the club, while the
occupants ran out the other. Si went through a series of flips, kicks,
punches, and moves clobbering a dozen or so of the metal heads. Finally,
seeing the odds were on her side, they left.

"Sometimes, I can actually hear them yell let's get the hell out of
here."
She thought with a smile.

Sirena was prepared to call her galaxy glider and get back to the
ship, when
she heard a noise behind her. Swinging around, she saw it was another of
Astronema's monsters. It smiled devilishly.

"Not again. This is not turning out to be my day. Your only making
it
worse. You better pack your bags, cause I'm sending you back to where you
came from." Sirena pointed at the monster.

In response, it produced a long and weird looking staff. "Allow me
to
introduce myself." It said. "My name is Magician. If you don't surrender
the Earth, I shall destroy you."

"That's what they all say." Sirena called out. "But in the end,
they're
wrong. What makes you so sure you can defeat me?"

"We'll see." Magician attacked Sirena with his staff.

Sirena avoided his staff easily only to be blasted by a high,
voltage
lightning strike.

"Man, that hurt." Although she didn't like to admit it, the blast
had gone
right through her suit.

The blast affected her more than Si thought. Something was wrong.
She just
couldn't focus on the fight at all.

"Something wrong?" Magician laughed. "Go back and tell your
friends that
nothing can destroy the Magician." He disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

"Galaxy glider, hang ten!" Sirena called out weakly.

Her glider appeared in front of her. She pulled her self on with a
great
effort. The glider shifted into hyper space to rush her back to the ship.

"Sirena, are you all right?" Someone called out to her.

Sirena realized she was demorphed. She couldn't make out who was
leaning
over her. Everything was blurry. For a moment, her eyesight seemed to
start
to focus, but then everything went black.

* * *

In the outside world, Trini and Kim were beginning to panic.
Something was
wrong with Sirena.

Kim leaned over her and started to shake her. "Sirena, are you all
right?"
She called out.

Si opened her eyes a little, but then closed them.

"Get her to the medical bay while I contact the other rangers."
ACTOM
instructed the two girls.

"Where's that." Trini asked clueless.

"Just follow my red lights." ACTOM said.

Between the two girls, they managed to get Sirena into the medical
bay and
onto a bed. Now all they could do was wait.

* * *

Andros groaned as the alarms on the ship blared. He hadn't fallen
asleep
yet, but was about to. He pulled himself up and left for the bridge. There
he met the other rangers including Zephra.

"What's going on DECA?" He asked.

"Astronema attacked a danced club and Sirena went to stop her. My
scanners
weren't on so I didn't detect anything. She's been hurt. I don't know how
badly, ACTOM just contacted me." DECA said in her expressionless tone.

The rangers teleported immediately to the Galaxy Megaship. They
found Sirena
in the medical bay. Trini and Kim were freaking out.

Both Andros and Zephra were by her side instantly. Cassie and
Ashley tried
their best to calm Kim and Trini down to get the facts. TJ and Carlos did a
check up on Si to get her position.

"She's not doing very well." TJ said softly. "Whoever did this was
extremely powerful. His blasts must have been able to get through her suit.
There's nothing we can do right now."

Andros barely nodded. "If only I was there with you," He thought
silently.
"This would never have happened."

Zephra was also thinking. "If you had gone with me, this would not
have
happened." He thought. "I blame the power rangers."

"Trini said, that before Si blacked out, she said 'the Magician' and
something else they couldn't pick up." Cassie whispered softly to them.

"Incoming message from some wacko named the Magician." ACTOM's
voice cut
through their thoughts.

Andros and Zephra snapped out of their trance. The rangers hurried
to the
bridge to receive the message.

"Hello power rangers. I trust the computer has already introduced
me. I am
Magician. And how is the meddlesome purple ranger doing? I hope well. I
tried not to hurt her too much." The disfigured person on the screen said.

"So it was you who did that to her!" Andros yelled much to the
surprise of
the rangers.

"You could say that. But I was only acting on orders from Dark
Specter. You
wanna fight me, meet me at Stone Canyon in let's say, ten minutes. Do you
accept my challenge?" Magician said threateningly.

"I accept." Andros said. He pushed a button and the screen
disappeared.

"Andros, you go, we all go." TJ said. "We're a team. And if one
of us go
for Sirena, then we all go for her. She's my friend. I can name several
times when she's saved my butt." TJ added.

"Me too. Si's always been there for me. And if she's hurt, I wanna
help
her." Carlos added in.

"All right. We all go." Andros agreed reluctantly.

They headed for the jump tubes to leave for the Earth. They all
went through
the same process in which Sirena went through to get to the All Nighter.
They
stuck their hand out, turned and grasped the bar above and slid into the
tube.
After traveling through the tunnels of hyper space, they arrived at Stone
Canyon.

* * *

"Rangers welcome, I was afraid you weren't going to show up."
Magician
sneered. "And your all here."

"We're here all right." Andros said. "You undo what you did to
Sirena, or
face the consequences."

All the rangers did a stance to try and unnerve the Magician. He
only
laughed in their faces.

"No, face my consequences." The Magician lashed out with his staff
catching
the rangers by total surprise.

The rangers fought with renown strength thinking of their wounded
friend in
the medical bay. Andros was not gonna give up. He was either gonna fight
till he died, or till the Magician was destroyed. Zephra had the same
determination. Only, he was gonna fight till he could fight no more.

The Magician's staff sent Ashley and Cassie slamming into the
ground, and TJ
and Carlos seriously wounded. Finally, by his luck, Andros and Zephra were
down too. The rangers tried to regroup, but to no success. The Magician
was
about to give a fatal blow when somebody's blaster hit him.

"What!" The Magician looked up to see where the blast came from.
There on
her galaxy glider was Sirena. "Impossible! The blast I dealt you with
should
have kept you on your back for at least a week." The Magician shouted.

"Yeah, well believe it. Your words at the club are about to fail,
cause I'm
gonna make you eat your words." Sirena leaped from her glider aiming a
lethal
kick at the Magician's head.

He raised his staff only to have it kicked out of his hands. The
Magician
was defenseless.

"Impossible." TJ said shaking his head. "When we left, Si could
hardly even
open her eyes. Now she's here fighting as if nothing happened."

"Well, Si is a lot stronger and powerful than any of us. Who
knows, she
might be able to heal in record time." Cassie shrugged.

"Just a second there." Andros said. He had been watching Si since
she got
there. "Si's still weak. Her moves aren't dealt with her full strength.
She's still really weak, but able to fight. We'd better help her."

With that, the rangers launched themselves into the fight to help
Sirena.
Sometime during the fight, Sirena was able to pull Zephra aside and have a
private talk with him.

"Zephra, I know what you did on Eltar." Sirena told him. She
couldn't keep
it a secret any longer.

"What?" It was hard to tell Zephra's expression from behind the
helmet.
"What do you mean?"

"I mean how you let Zordon get into Dark Specter's hands." Sirena
was
running out of patience.

"How'd you find out?" From the expression in Zephra's voice, he had
realized
what Si meant.

"Doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm giving you two choices.
One, to
get out of here while you can. Two, to stay and wait till my anger reaches
it's peak, and I'll destroy you." Sirena explained calmly.

"I'm not leaving. You wouldn't have the guts to destroy me."
Zephra said
firmly. He loved Sirena.

"Maybe I wouldn't, but Andros or one of the other rangers would."
Sirena
wished he would just leave.

From somewhere on his body, Zephra produced a long sword to match
Sirena's.
It seemed as though he didn't have a choice.

"I don't want to have to hurt you Sirena." Zephra warned.

"You don't have. All you have to worry about, is me, destroying
you."

If Sirena had not been in her weak state, she could easily have
defeated
Zephra. Because of her lack of energy, she and Zephra were equal.

In a burst of flames, the Magician was destroyed. Cassie glanced
around, it
suddenly registered in her mind that Sirena and Zephra were gone.

"Look!" Ashley yelled, she pointed up towards the cliffs. Somehow
Si and
Zephra had made it up there. "Something must of happened."

Andros felt anger go through his entire body. He had no desire to
lose
Sirena again. He could feel Si call out to him in her mind. She needed
him.

Sirena could feel Zephra's strength. He was not gonna be defeated
easily.
Zephra was not one to give in easily or die easily.

"Andros help me!" Sirena yelled in her mind. "I can't hold on much
longer."
Her strength was beginning to fail her. She felt sleepiness overcome her
mind. "I will not give in and show my weakness." Sirena shouted at
herself.

Zephra was about to deal a death hit when Andros interfered. The
Spiral
Saber wounded him greatly.

Exhausted, Si collapsed into Andros's waiting arms. She felt
herself demorph
from the huge amount of power she had used to heal.

Each of the rangers joined by Andros's side, to show they were all
willing to
fight Zephra if he did not leave. Deciding the odds against him were
tremendous, Zephra left in his ship for home.

"ACTOM! Six coming up." Carlos said into his communicator.

Framing the evening sky, a pink, yellow, blue, black, and a mixture
of red
and purple showers of light, left Stone Canyon for space.

* * *

"There's Sirena!" Kim yelled when they got back. "She scared us
half to
death with her disappearing trick. Where'd she go?"

The two dragged four grumpy teenagers out of the room. Cassie
closed the
door behind them. All four girls immediately pressed their ears against the
door to try and get as much of the conversation as they could.

Inside, the two could clearly hear the argument as if they were out
there
with them. Automatically, Andros caressed Sirena's cheek lightly. All he
could see was her beauty.

Leaning down, he whispered, quietly and soothingly in her ear. "Do
you feel
the same way I do?"

Sirena responded by kissing him. After a second or two, Andros
responded
with warmth beyond recognition. Sirena was totally lost for what seemed
like
eternity. Finally the time came to part. Her eyes begged silently for
more.
He responded with a kiss that made her entire will melt. She lost track of
time and space. Her heart was beating so loud, that she almost didn't hear
him murmur her name.

"Sirena, we have to stop now." Andros whispered pulling away. He
didn't
want to lose the moment. "You need to recover."

"I already am." It was clear from her look, and voice that she
wanted more.

"No. Your still wounded. I'll stay by your side." Andros pulled
up a chair
and sat by Si's side.
